Devils Club
Devils Club is generally an unhappy plant (lots of spikes, gets intertwined with it's neighbors). I was surprised to see fruit, but not surprised to find it's not particularly edible. I do like the species name - "horridus" - it gives you a sense of what people think of it. Species: Oplopanax horridus (devilsclub)
